Does FWD/AWD/RWD matter at all
Front Tires Wearing on Edges - More Air?

For tire pressure difference? I do it on AWD and FWD just ' cos we drive either solo or two people in front seats and front end is already heavier due to engine placement. 2psi doesn't make much difference but keeps overall tire diameter about same with front and rear ties that's is more critical on AWD vehicles.
Which is why prorating is mostly a scam and tire warranties are mostly a scam.
The edges of modern tires fresh from the factory are shallower tread and wear faster than the center . They are designed this way as a form of wear indicator.
On my Volt I ran 50-65 psi over the life of the tire, my “balance “ exceed the factory requirement at zero tow. Got 60,000ish miles out of the front and nearly 80k from the rear.
All 4 tires had the edges wore down long before the main tread, now days it’s normal wear and unavoidable.
Folks running “stock” tire pressure on Volts would almost always have the sidewall blow around 15,000-25,000 miles, so reducing tire pressures was worse.
The good news is that you're observing March 8th every day of the year.

This car has some incredible suspension and great ride. I don’t want it to ride like an Elantra.
Most of the time, I don't notice a difference

Ouch, dealer changed the oil today. Took this pic.
Walmart has the Kumho LX Platinums for $107 down from $194. Just ordered 2. Will just keep them until later this spring most likely. Was too good of a deal to pass up.
